Mac’s Chophouse Follow-Up Health Inspection Revised to a 97

Marietta.com

On January 20, 2026, inspectors revised Mac’s Chophouse’s follow-up score from Jan. 7, 2026 to 97, with remaining issues tied to hot water and missing ceiling tiles.

Mac’s Chophouse received a revised score of 97 on the follow-up health inspection from Jan. 7, 2026. The updated follow-up inspection leaves only two violations on the report.

This revised result also changes the tone of the follow-up story. Instead of a middling recheck, the paperwork now reflects a strong bounce-back, with the remaining items focused on building and water-service basics.

What the Inspection Found

Water supply and pressure
The inspector noted hot water was not available for the employee bathroom located in the outdoor storage area. The report also cited hot water not available for the hand sink on the service line in the main kitchen, plus low cold water pressure at that same hand sink. A note adds that hot water was provided at the hand sink located on the service line, but the item still shows not corrected during inspection.

Facility maintenance
The report noted missing ceiling tiles in the outdoor dry storage area. This item was also marked not corrected during inspection.

The report also notes the facility provided an invoice showing an ice machine cleaning service was conducted, and the Environmental Health Specialist planned to attach that invoice to the facility’s page on DHD.

What Happens Next

The report states the facility is not approved for non-continuous cooking and should stop that process until approval from the Health Authority is given.

A later note dated 1/20/26 (EKW) says that after a review meeting, the operator will provide a written standard operating procedure (SOP) for the Beef Wellington menu item to the Health Authority. The note also says the operator will ensure all food-contact surfaces of the ice machine are kept clean to sight and touch.

Health inspections capture conditions observed on a specific day. For diners, it helps to look for steady basics on repeat visits: accessible hand sinks with reliable hot water, clean equipment, and day-to-day practices that stay consistent when service gets busy.

Marietta’s Latest Health Scores: A 100 Pops Up, and a 51 Raises Eyebrows

Marietta.com

This latest batch of inspections from January 7 through January 14, 2026 delivered a little bit of everything. On the bright side, a few spots hit a perfect 100, including the new Tacos La Villa Cantina on Whitlock Avenue. A follow-up inspection for Hoboken Cafe brought their score up from a 69 on 12/18/25 to a near perfect score on 1/8/26. On the other end of the scale, Fresh To Order in Cumberland Mall posted a 51, with Kore Steakhouse close by at 58. That is the kind of week that keeps hand sanitizer companies in business.

A Quick Note on What These Scores Mean

Health inspections are a snapshot of one day, not a full biography of a kitchen. Still, scores can point to patterns that owners should take seriously, especially when numbers dip into the 50s. If a place earns a lower score, the best follow-up for diners is to keep an eye out for the next inspection.

Ted’s Montana Grill Cancels Planned Marietta Square Location

Marietta.com

Plans for Ted’s Montana Grill to fill the long-vacant lot on Marietta Square are no longer moving forward. According to reporting by the Marietta Daily Journal, the restaurant group has decided to cancel the project after previously receiving approval from the Marietta Historic Board of Review.

The proposed restaurant was slated for 77 North Park Square, a property often referred to locally as the “Goldstein Gap.” The site has remained undeveloped since the former Cuthbertson building was demolished in 2010, with several redevelopment proposals failing to materialize over the years. Ted’s Montana Grill had planned a single-story building designed to match the architectural scale of the Square, with construction projected to finish in 2027.

George McKerrow, co-founder and chief executive officer of Ted’s Montana Grill, confirmed the decision on January 8, 2026. McKerrow claims that “negative feedback” on social media was a contributing factor in the company’s choice to step away from the project.

The announcement is a surprising reversal after the restaurant group had secured unanimous approval from the Marietta Historic Board of Review in September 2025. That approval covered a 4,311-square-foot building with historically inspired exterior and interior design elements intended to blend with surrounding structures on the Square.

The cancellation means the North Park Square lot will remain vacant for the foreseeable future, continuing a pattern that has stretched more than a decade. Ted’s Montana Grill would have become the company’s 12th Georgia location and its fourth within Cobb County, joining existing restaurants in East Cobb, West Cobb, and Kennesaw.

For now, the future of the site at 77 North Park Square remains uncertain, with no new development plans publicly announced following Ted’s withdrawal.

Ted’s Montana Grill Approved for Marietta Square Construction

Mac’s Chophouse Gets 82 on Follow-Up Health Inspection After 64, Key Fixes Made but Concerns Remain

Marietta.com

Mac’s Chophouse received an 82 on a follow-up health inspection on Jan. 7, 2026. That score follows a 64 on a routine inspection dated Dec. 30, 2025. Taken together, the two scores tell a straightforward story: the follow-up visit shows some issues were corrected, but an 82 remains a low mark for a restaurant. Inspection records also show oysters listed in prior notes from a past visit on 1/9/23, which makes basics like clean ice equipment and reliable hot water feel even less optional.

What the Inspection Found

Cleaning and sanitation
The inspector observed black buildup inside the ice machine in the main kitchen and inside the ice machine in the outside storage area. This was marked as a repeat violation from the prior inspection, and the report notes that equipment like ice makers must be cleaned at the manufacturer’s frequency, or often enough to prevent soil or mold buildup.

Cooking process controls
The report cited partially cooked beef fillets stored in a reach-in cooler in the main kitchen. The issue was tied to non-continuous cooking of raw animal foods, with the inspector noting the facility did not have approved written procedures for that process.

Water supply and pressure
The inspector observed hot water not available for the employee bathroom located in the outdoor storage area. The report also noted hot water concerns and low cold water pressure at the hand sink on the main kitchen service line. A note adds that hot water was provided at that hand sink, but the violation was still marked not corrected during inspection.

Facility maintenance
Ceiling tiles were reported missing in the outdoor dry storage area, with the report citing the need to keep physical facilities in good repair.

What the Restaurant Did On-Site

The report documents several corrective actions during the visit:

For the ice machines, ice was discarded, the machines were cleaned to sight and touch, and then allowed to air dry.
For the partially cooked beef fillets, the items were discarded. The report also notes the Environmental Health Specialist would send the facility the code requirement tied to this process.

What Happens Next

The follow-up report does not list a specific reinspection date or a deadline in the details provided. It does show that the water supply/pressure issue and the missing ceiling tiles were not corrected during the inspection.

An 82 is higher than a 64, but it still reflects multiple problems observed on the inspection date, including items that can affect everyday food safety, like hot water availability and sanitation. Inspections are a snapshot of one day, so diners can also watch for steady safe practices over time, like accessible hand sinks with hot water, clean equipment, and staff routines that stay consistent during a busy shift.

A Quick Note on Inspection Scores

A health inspection score is a snapshot of a single day, not a permanent label. Restaurants can (and often do) fix issues fast, so a lower score can look very different by the next visit.

West Park Sports Club

Marietta.com

West Park Sports Club is opening at 29 West Park Square, in the former Red Hare Brewing Company distillery space on Marietta Square. The concept is positioned as an upscale sports bar with lots of TVs, a darker, leather-forward interior, and a schedule that includes plenty of sports and live music.

The menu lineup ranges from comfort food to snacky, bar-friendly plates. Menu items include a smokehouse stack, crispy rice cakes topped with tuna, a crab rangoon flatbread, and bulgogi cheesesteak sliders. In other words, the kitchen seems ready to handle a brisket craving and a “hand me one of those sliders” moment in the same sitting.

The new spot is planned for the same West Park Square building that previously housed Red Hare’s Still on the Square concept (and before that it was home to Hemingway’s Bar & Grill).
The restaurant features a full-service setup with a bar program, room for private events, and a sports-forward atmosphere.

West Park Sports Club is from Fork U Concepts, a Marietta-based restaurant group behind concepts such as Taqueria Tsunami Latin Asian Kitchen, Stockyard Burgers and Bones, Forno Vero, Silla Del Toro, Cotto Modern Italian, and Southern Prospect from owners Alexis and Scott Kinsey.

West Park Sports Club is planning for an early 2026 opening, with hiring activity that began in late 2025.

29 West Park Square

Smalls Sliders

Marietta.com

Smalls Sliders is set to begin construction for its new Marietta restaurant with a celebratory “Can Drop” at 9 am on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at 2355 Windy Hill Road. The Marietta build is its second Georgia location, following the first Can in Stockbridge.

Smalls is known for its bright orange (Smorange) color and modular shipping-container build, typically around 750 square feet with streamlined ordering. The format focuses on drive-thru and walk-up service, with some outdoor seating available.

Smalls menu keeps things simple with cheeseburger sliders as the only entree, made with 100% beef patty, melted American cheese, pickle, and the brand’s signature “Smauce” sauce on a fresh toasted bun. Additional items include seasoned waffle fries, 3 flavors of shakes, soft drinks, and additions including bacon, double meat, and queso for dipping. That’s it. No chicken nuggets, no salads, just sliders, fries, and drinks.

Smalls Sliders launched in Baton Rouge in 2019 and has attracted high-profile backing, including Drew Brees as an early investor. The company is now Atlanta-based, and has hundreds of locations open across 22 states.
